As it so happened, the hapless homeowner was getting ready to take his Leica M6 with 35mm Summilux out for an airing must keep on topic...) when his wife reminded him that it was Saturday and that he had promised to paint the back porch. Well, he could hardly believe his good fortune when the wanderer came to the door and asked if he had any odd jobs to be done. "well," He said, " I do have some work. I want you to take this brush and this can of paint out back and paint the porch." The Indigent wanderer happily took the tools and went around back of the house, and the happy homeowner went in to pack his gear for a day of street photography.. Upon exiting his abode, he ran into the indigent wanderer who appeared to have finished! "What?," He exclaimed. " Are you finished already?" The wanderer replied, " Sure, mister; piece o' cake! But I gotta tell ya- that ain't no porch back there- hit's a Mercedes!" dwpost@msn.com - -----Original Message----- From: Jim Brick <jim@brick.org> To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Date: Saturday, May 23, 1998 1:58 PM Subject: RE: [Leica] TID>Porsches >At 11:51 AM 5/23/98 -0400, you wrote: >>And Porsche (just as Leica) is a TWO syllable word. >> >>Bill >> > > >And a Bimmer is the car, and a Beemer is the motorcycle.
